Could you please tell me how you use your coupons?

Hi everyone. I have been on sc for quite a while now and have accumulated ALOT of coupons. I am afraid however that I could be using more of them for free or next to free purchases. Can you tell me how you are using your coupons? For example,
-I WAS using the snuggle $1coupon at CT and only paying .29cents for 20 sheets.
-I have been using the $1 vim coupon for the vim gel that goes on sale periodically for $1. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
-I have been using the .50 puffs or1.25 wub2 for the travel packs of puffs tissue.

Sounds like you are on the right track to me. I see you are in Sask. If you are close to London Drugs you can stack which really makes it easy to get some awesome deals. Just do a search on stacking and it will explain and maybe show some of the current coupons to use. ie. Dove.
I have found that free is great but paying $1.50 for something that is usually $5.00 is just as good. Hope this helps.

I can't help you with the stacking but it sounds like you have the basics down I try to match my coupons with flyer sales and I PM everything at walmart. I try to stock up if the sale is close to rock bottom so when things are higher priced, I can save my coupons and wait for another sale. Sometimes I end up paying full price if I need something and there is no sale in site. I will still use my coupons to save money but I will only get what I need without stocking.

also try to combine points promotions with coupons. If Zellers is having a promotion on a product, purchase and use coupons. Same for Rexall. Keep in mind that you may be able to get the item for less oop at other stores, so don't always go for the points if your end results are not worth the oop.

Combine coupons with Mail in Rebates like the Nestle water, cereal MIR. Your oop is less and you still get the rebate for buying the product.

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately I live 90 minutes away from the nearest London Drugs so I don't get there often. I have been saving up my stackables coupons and hopefully will get there before Christmas. Is the Nestle water cereal mir still going on? I think I missed this one in the forum.

The best advice I can give is to watch the bragging section here, thats how I get most of my ideas
